All this so-called progress
hasn’t gotten us anywhere.
We have prosperity,
but we still want more.
We know so much,
Yet remain ignorant.
We think too much,
but don’t feel anything.
We gained technology,
yet we lost our humanity.
We invented things to
bring us together.
But we are more
segregated than ever.
We are victims of a system,
the byproduct of bureaucracy.
Power corrupted
the hearts of our leaders.
Greed changed
men’s characters.
We cannot give into
the machines.
We are still human
underneath all the lies.
If we shed the layers,
we are made of the same fabric
since the beginning of time:
love.
